Alien Invasion: and the origins of mankind

was going to use such information to destroy them.
The kid left the room just as fast as he came in, he apparently came up with a new thought he wanted to work on.
A few days later the General made his way down the hallway towards the most secured room in the world. He made his way inside after entering the correct code. The door closed behind him. He stood in a large room, made up of glass walls, bright overhead lights, and computer terminals on black desks with paperwork and test tubes on top. The room lacked color. Scientists in white coats worked away on projects an average scientist in labs around the world could only dream of. A few scientists walked past the General looking over their paperwork. He made his way past glass tubes that now stand empty. They once held two dead alien bodies flooding in water after the saucer crashed in the desert decades ago. The aliens were masters at flying their saucers, but they were caught off guard by the lighting strike. He walked to the back of the room and stopped at the two-way mirror and looked inside a smaller room. Inside were two chairs with a table in between. In one chair sat a scientist, in the other chair sat a grey alien. They scientist asked questions trying to understand the alien’s home planet. The General heard stories of some scientists traveling there. The alien in the chair acted peaceful, showing no signs of aggression. The General stood watching knowing it was all a trick. Soon the aliens would turn against all humans. They were just planning the right moment. The General turned and walked away from the two-way mirror, he didn’t notice the alien turned its head and looked at the mirror after he stepped away.
He walked out of the room and down a long hallway towards the other secured room. He entered the pass code and walked inside. The door closed behind him and he watched over engineers and scientists who were using information given to them from the aliens to engineer gadgets and construct inventions to be used in houses and businesses around the world one day. In the past few years the engineers invented objects from microwaves, to lasers, plastic, computers, rocket fuel, and countless other things.
The technology in the microwave wasn’t intended to be used to cook food. It was given to the scientists as super energy to help construct the engines of spaceships, but the information was far to complex for the scientists to understand. The scientists found out real quick that the microwaves can get really hot, really fast. One day, food was left to close to the machine and to everyone’s surprise the food cooked. The scientists were amazed by this finding. After a few months of research they determined the food was safe, and could be consumed. They decided to construct a story on how it was invented by man, minus any mention of aliens, and release it to the public. Now something given to mankind by aliens can be found in your average kitchen to cook family dinners.
Aliens also gave the scientists the laser. They’re still trying to use it for much bigger things, but in the mean time it was given to the public to be used to listen to music. If the aliens could laugh they might be laughing at us for using such powerful devices for basic things.
He could just imagine how the world would react if they discovered the secret complex out in the desert.
Of course there were a few conspiracy TV shows, made by conspiracy theorists talking about aliens being real and how the government was covering it up. He was amazed how close they almost stumbled across the truth at times. It was something he couldn’t risk. There might come the day when they truly do stumble across the truth and reveal to the world and what he had worked so hard on covering up would be exposed forever. So he decided to mix the pot. He created his own conspiracy TV shows filling them with lies, making them look just like the other ones on TV. The public on any given random night would sit around their TVs believing they were watching a genuine conspiracy show meant to expose the truth of government cover-ups. The whole time having no idea the shows where completely fake created to fool them with misinformation and all out lies. He had soldiers in disguises acting in them, making them look like conspiracy theorist demanding the truth be told. Some would act like farmers claiming to be abducted and taken to a planet called Zena. The soldiers did such a good job they were invited to conventions to speak to the other conspiracy theorists who also demanded the truth be told. No one at the conventions had a clue of the truth. When the soldiers claimed to have “discovered” top-secret information about aliens all the conspiracy geeks fell for it. Completely unaware it was false information made up by the General.
He ordered countless Internet sites created; some top notch and others cheep looking. So no one would be able to tell which ones the General created and which ones were made by real conspiracy theorists who really did demand the truth. The General flooded the Internet with countless bizarre, ridicules; stories of alien abduction that were over the top.
Fake crop circles were created making everything to do with aliens look like a joke, in which only freaks got involved. Since no one likes being called a freak the vast majority of people stay away from talking about aliens. Meanwhile the real truth was hidden away.
The General looked back at the kids in the assembly hall. He had been speaking for the last half hour. He knew this speech so well he could say it in his sleep “…And that kids is why you should always respect the military. There here for you they want to help you and protect you” he finished his speech and stood back.
The kids in the hall applauded as the General thank them and walked off the stage.
Mr. Bailey walked out on stage and thanked the General for coming out to the school and speaking to the kids. Afterwards he turned to the kids and let them know he they could return to the there classrooms.
The kids got up from their seats and started making there way back towards the hallways.
Bobby turned to Sam “The General must really love being in the army. He’s been going on with that same speech since he got here. He’s really paranoid about outsiders coming in.”
Sam nodded “Sad to see someone like that focus on something so negative”
“Can you image if he saw Warren and his gang yesterday night with the alien mask on. He would’ve send all the tanks and military guns after them”
Sam laughed.
“Warren would’ve run out of that forest faster then you can blink.”
The General walked off the stage, behind the curtain into the darkness away from the lights.
Solider 13 stood next to him in the shadows with cold eyes and no expression. He handed the General his hat “Good speech sir, had them in your hands”
The General nodded “As long as no one suspects the truth, that’s all that matters. Won over the mayor, the citizens on Main Street, the kids right here today. I’ll spend the next few hours talking with other people in this town. Get everyone on my side.” He paused for a moment “Nice little town, to bad it has to be destroyed, but that’s the price you pay for freeing the world of evil intruders. History will understand”
Solider 13 took out his cellphone and talked to someone for a moment. As soon as he was finished he turned to the General “Sir, reports have come in of a saucer landing in the forest yesterday night”
The General groaned. “Wonder what they want. Anytime those big-eyed creatures land before a meeting, it means there up to something. Did anyone witness the landing?”
“Unknown at this time. Were looking into that now sir”
The General turned to solider 13 “If anyone in this town did witness the landing make sure they are picked up and have them held throughout the weekend. I don’t want any risks. We cannot have the truth coming out, everyone will panic”
“Yes sir”
“Have a few solders on Forest Road tonight. I don’t want anyone from the town spotting the saucer or any aliens. Not to many soldiers though, I don’t want the town’s people seeing a ton of soldiers walking around and question why”
The Friday night musical festival was underway as everyone in town gathered in the massive park in the center of town to take in the songs. A million stars hung in the sky above as high school ban
ds stood on the bandstand playing songs rehearsed for weeks. Trumpets, clarinets, and guitars held harmony on an up tempo song as parents held up cameras to capture they sons and daughters playing. Parents and musician quietly hoping notes were not missed played.
Little kids stood looking around eating cotton candy holding their parent’s hand anticipating the brilliant fireworks display schedule shortly.
The teenagers were hyped knowing music group “Fly by Night” was brought in to play. There songs choreographed to match the explosion of the fireworks.
The cry wolves’ gang stood far back from the stage next to the sidewalk. They had arrived late after spending a few hours hanging out at Springbrook Gardens Inn looking to get autographs from the band members. Turns out they weren’t the only ones with the idea, half the town had gathered around the Inn looking for the same thing.
The embarrassing encounter in the forest was slowly fading from there memoirs. They just made sure not to cross paths with Warren and his gang so they wouldn’t be recognized and laughed at.
Bobby taped his foot to the music and glanced over to the side of the stage and noticed a dark blue van quietly pulling in by the shadows. He knew right away it had to be Fly by Night arriving, waiting for there moment
